The idea to have a new 'Lookup' plugin type in core is meant to allow all plugins to contribute and use without too many class loader issues. It also allows us to integrate with metadata. For example, we might have the "Projects" plugin that knows about the way to access a secrets vault, stored in some metadata folder somewhere. It would expose a lookup plugin with prefix `VAULT`. The `StringUtil` code would simply need to look in the core lookup plugins which lookup this represents. We wouldn't have to refactor thousands of `resolve()` calls across the codebase. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
